Years continued to pass, and the Dao Conference was still ongoing.
It had been 10 years since the beginning of the Dao Conference, and it was about time for it to end.
There had been no incidents so far, with everything going well.
Many listeners had benefited greatly from this Dao Conference, and their overall strength had grown.
Normally, the Dao Conference would’ve lasted for a few more years, mighty figures would have discussed the Dao together, people would get to make connections, and geniuses would compete against eachother, but it was not possible in such a situation.
Tian Yongheng had already marked the Qingyun Sword Sect with a Dao Mark, and no Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could detect it.
His original body in the Eternal Peak had also connected that Dao Mark with the Enigmatic Godly Stele, allowing both his original body and clone to travel freely between the Eternal Peak and the Qingyun Sword Sect.
He did not told anyone about this, and only did it on case of danger. It may also act as a source of transportation in the future when he got stronger.
Right now, he was floating while sitting cross-legged atop a mountain peak, his eyes opened as he continously checked the surroundings.
At this moment, Tan Xue suddenly came to his side and cupped her fists before saying, "Senior, the Dao Conference will end in a few months. What are your plans after this?"
Her voice was calm as she said this.
After she got to know that Tian Yongheng was a Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts by other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, she was very respectful to him and started calling him senior so as to not offend him.
But she still wondered why he didn’t tell her this beforehand.
Tian Yongheng didn’t care what or who others thought of him as long as they didn’t cause trouble for him, so he didn’t clarify anything and just went with the flow.
The reason why she was asking this was because after the declaration of war against the demonic path, there would be chaos all over. The Master of Eternal Peak wouldn’t sit back and do nothing at that time.

He would most likely be the first Tribulation Transcendence Realm mighty figure to take action in this war, so his role was extremely important.
She needed to know his stance to prepare in advance. Tian Yongheng also knew this.
He turned to look at her before replying indifferently, "I’ll only take action when things take a bad turn and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators are not enough to resolve it by themselves. Otherwise, with my intervention too early on, the demonic path won’t stay still and there’s a possibility that mighty figures stronger than me may come out. It will turn into an all out world war at that moment.
We can’t let it develop to that extent, at least not when the supreme experts of our righteous path have yet to make a decision."
After spending so many years in the Qingyun Sword Sect and listening to the various conversations of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Tian Yongheng also had a basic understanding of the righteous path’s situation.
High ranking figures definitely knew of the rise of the demonic path and the ruckus it was causing, yet they still chose to remain silent. It meant that there was a big conspiracy above all this.
The cultivation world was really full of politics and not all about power.
The so called ’law of the jungle’ only worked on those who were weaker and didn’t have any connections or background. No strong person would dare to touch them if their background was greater than the former.
Of course, this law would still prevail if the weaker person did not possess any background or connections at all.
No one dared to take action against Tian Yongheng because his background was mysterious and powerful on top of his great cultivation.
This was one of the reasons why Tian Yongheng did not deny any claims about his background, to make it appear more unfathomable and mysterious.
Had he been only considered as a genius without any background, then the major factions would have tried to rope him in, not to mention he would face assassination attempts all the time whether he joined a major faction or not.
It was too dangerous to be a lone cultivator without any background, and a genius would be even more threatened as long as they revealed their talents.
Feeling that his words made sense, Tan Xue didn’t say anything else and left after doing a respectful bow.
Tian Yongheng turned to look in a certain direction.
Yan Jingfei had reached the Third Stage of Golden Core Realm, while Lu Qingfeng had reached the Eighth Stage of Innate Realm. Their cultivation could be said to have improved a lot.
Although they didn’t know the reason why, they felt that something must have happened between their master and the many Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses of the various factions to cause the latter because of the situation they were in right now.
At this moment, both of them were in a inn located at the entrance of the Qingyun City, surrounded by the disciples and descendents of many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, including Lin Qiyuan, Wu Qing, and Shi Meirong.
They had all been informed by their elders that they must befriend the two disciples of the Master of Eternal Peak, and although they didn’t know why, they were still hundreds and some even thousands of years old, knowing that their elders must have a reason for telling them to do this.
Mo Yuxin was also standing there, albeit a bit far from the crowd as she gazed into the distance. She had reached the Seventh Stage of Golden Core Realm just a few years ago after she got insights from the various sermons.
She was still not over the fact that Tian Yongheng was actually a mighty figure of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, an existence even her grandfather could not touch.
Suddenly, their gazes met and she quickly looked down, while Tian Yongheng retracted his gaze and fell into deep thought, not thinking about Mo Yuxin. He did not have the time for that at the moment.
He could sense that his original body was about to breakthrough to the Seventh Stage of Void Refinement Realm.
His strength would definitely advance by leaps and bounds when that happens, possibly allowing him to contend against those in the mid stages of Tribulation Transcendence Realm without pushing himself too much.
However, he felt that he was still not strong enough to be able to fight against the leading figures from the demonic path’s sides and defeat them in the upcoming war, not to mention all the forces of the demonic path that probably far surpassed his imagination.
Even though he felt bad at the thought of millions of people dying, with the number of casualties increasing the more the war went on, he could do nothing about it.
He was a selfish person. His life was the utmost priority, the reason he cultivated, his original intention. Had he not embraced this mentality, he would have never come this far.
Even though he would try to protect the people around him as much as he could, he would not put his life on the line for them. Specially not for people who had no karmic ties with him whatsoever.
If he was confident enough of sweeping through the entire Tribulation Transcendence Realm, then he would directly take action and go to face off against those Tribulation Transcendence Realm powerhouses of the demonic path. That was all he could do.
Even if he could use this clone to fight, he would never fight someone who he didn’t know the origins of. If the clone died and he reappeared, then the other party would know of his clone technique and the Eternal Peak may directly get attacked.
He could not take such a huge risk.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly brightened slightly as he seemed to have comprehended something.
Dao of Karma.
He had just stepped into the Dao of Karma, although his understanding was shallow and he could not do anything with it for the time being.
He would need to ponder over the Dao of Karma later on.
Just as he was thinking of this, he sensed Mo Wenxiong and Mo Qingxuan flying over higher above the main platform of the Qingyun City, their presence domineering and aura oppressive, attracting attention.
Other Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses from various factions gathered together, flying on the same altitude as them while Mo Qingxuan slowly descended down and landed besides the platform.
As more and more people got to know the identity of the many people flying over, they all had different feelings.
Some were excited, some nervous, and some confused.
All the people present in the Qingyun Sword Sect began to gather and surround the main platform of Qingyun City.
At this point, just as Mo Wenxiong was about to speak, a Sword Guardian flew over at high speed and landed in front of Mo Qingxuan, kneeling on one knee as he cupped his fists.
"What happened?" Mo Qingxuan asked calmly, his voice heard by many people in the front row.
The Sword Guardian gritted his teeth as he said in a heavy tone or voice, "Sect Master, all the Void Refinement Realm factions in the Qingyun Region have been besieged by demonic cultivators, and some were even destroyed in just a span of a few months!"
